Merry Christmas!

We hope everybody had a very Merry Christmas. We had a wonderful Christmas this year, one of my favorites! Holidays are so much fun with kids. Adilee loved the lights, Santa's, the trees, and baby Jesus....every time she saw any of these things she would say her famous "oh wow"! As soon as she would wake up she would go into the living room and make sure our tree lights were on. When she would go to grammy's house she would go through the house and make sure all of her lights, Santa bulb and decorations were turned on. Adi's favorite yard lights were her grandma Peggy's. Grandma Peggy had it all, candy canes, snowman, deer and all the fun colored lights! These are just a few random pictures of Christmas!here is my sweet little Paislee chillin with daddy! This was at the end of the night on Christmas day with Adi in her new pajamas from grandma Peggy. Braden is Adi's pal over at grandma's house!

We went to Josh's Uncle and Aunts house for a Christmas lunch/dinner. They have a dog and Adilee was loving it.

Of course Paislee started trying out her new toys right away-straight to the mouth!

Adilee with her Uncle Dallin...Adi has become quite attached to him! (I love her skirt)!

Another Apron

Here is the other apron that I made, this one was for my mom's birthday.

I used the chair as my model.....well, it will have to do. I love the ruffles on this pattern.

Sewing projects

I finally finished the girls Christmas pajamas. I love them, I really think that they turned out good. Paislee's has ruffles at the bottom of the shirt and the bottom of her pants. And I put puff selves in both their shirts.
These two are so fun together. Paislee is catching up to Adi fast. They already play so well together and they are always making each other laugh.

Paislee can sit up now! She balances her self pretty well.



This is an apron I just made for my sister for her birthday. My sister-in-law, Kimberley, made me an apron for my birthday and I loved it so I used it as my pattern. The picture above and below is the same apron, it is reversible. I am making a different apron for my mom for her birthday, the one I am making for her I actually have a patter for, I will post a picture as soon as I finish it. I really do enjoy sewing!

making ginger bread houses

Adi got to have some friends/cousins over to make ginger bread houses
Adi helping cousin Gavin decorate his house




The best part about making ginger bread houses is eating as you go....Adi would dip her hand into the frosting and then into the bowl of chocolate chips so that they would stick to her hand to make for easier eating...You can tell by her smile that she had a great time!

Fun at the cabin

A couple of weeks ago we were able to go up to Michelle's familys' cabin with some of our cousins. We had a lot of fun and even got some SNOW!This was Paislee's first time in the snow:)
Within just a few minutes this is what it looked like outside
Here is a group pic of the cousins who were able to make it to the cabin
the girls loved the snow

Woo hoo!

I am very happy to report that Adilee is doing wonderful in her toddler (Josh bought a cute toddler sleigh bed)bed. She has slept in it the past two night no problem. The first night she screamed when I put her in the bed and left the room so I went back in and rubbed her back and talked to her about her big girl bed. She was still awake when I went out and she did not cry one bit, she stayed in her bed and went right to sleep and the next morning I went in and had to wake her up at 9 b/c she was still sound a sleep. Sat. night Josh but her to bed and she never cried or got up she went right to sleep and slept until 9:30am (we had a very busy, long weekend with little to no naps. Night time has been a breeze, however, nap time has not gone as well. Her naps are short, I dont know if it is the new bed or the crazy weekend, I will let you know after this next week. All in all I would say putting Paislee in the crib and Adi in a toddler bed has been a great move!

When Josh brought the bed home he had it in the kitchen and was tightening up all the screws. Adi picked up Josh's keys off the floor and followed Josh around the bed tightening up the screws with the keys. The next morning Adi got Josh's keys of the end table went into her room and spent about fifteen minutes "working" on her bed! She is getting so big and copies everything she sees, always making us laugh!

Big girl bed!

Since Paislee is sleeping through the night we decided it was time for her to start sleeping in her room with her sister. Paislee is a big girl and gets to sleep in the crib now, yeah!!!! We are so excited for the girls to share a room together. Now that Paislee has taken over Adi's bed, Adi gets to be a BIG girl and sleep in a twin bed for the first time tonight. I am a little nervous but I think she will do great. I will let you know how she does...wish me luck! :)

Sleeping through the night!

Pailsee is a wonderful baby. She has been sleeping through the night for the past two weeks. She goes to sleep between 8:30 and 10:30 and wakes up between 7 and 8. I LOVE it! Adi didn't sleep through the night till she was 6 months, Paislee started at 3 :)! And yes, she is a thumb sucker. Which I was not to happy about at first but then when I realized what a blessing it is that she can calm her self I decided it wasn't to bad and was actually kind of cute, for now anyways!

Sewing 101

I have a good friend Lujan who is teaching me how to sew! I made this rag blanket for Adilee and made a patch work blanket for Paislee (I don't have a pic of it yet). I had so much fun making it!
Next I made pink dresses for the girls. I thought that the turned out pretty cute so the girls wore them to church. These are the only two pic's I got of them wearing them and neither one shows the dress very well.
Paislee and daddy taking a Sunday nap. I love pics of the girls with their daddy.

I just finished making matching skirts for me and the girls and am now working on making a matching tie for Josh, corny I know, but it is fun and I can only do it while they are little and think it is cute. I am hoping to get our family pics done in them, I will post a pic of it later.
